Today's wedding banquet wasn't the best meal Xu Kai had ever eaten, but it was definitely the most filling.
The saying goes that a meal is more enjoyable with more people. As each dish was served, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Within a minute or two, the plates were empty.
The chef kept bringing out six or seven dishes at a time, and after everyone finished their plates, there was a three- to four-minute interval before the next round of dishes arrived.
They went through two rounds of eating, and Xu Kai joined in the scramble for food. He not only felt incredibly full but also a bit dizzy.
Setting down his chopsticks, he picked up the glass of ice water next to him and took a couple of sips to clear his head.
It was rare for there to be no alcohol at this wedding banquet, only beverages and water, mostly sparkling water. There was no need to worry about driving home after eating.
Xu Kai didn't think much of drinking the ice water; he considered it a modern cultural practice for young people getting married. It was acceptable and understandable.
Having finished their meal, it was time to get on with the main event.
Xu Kai pulled Song Jixing and the bride and groom together for a photo, intending to post it on various social media platforms to update their fans.
The main audience wasn't Song Jixing's fans but rather Feng Juechen's fans.
Feng Juechen had a large number of fans, with his Weibo followers alone being five or six times that of Song Jixing's, not to mention other platforms.
Thinking of this, Xu Kai couldn't help but sigh. They were all from the same school, but the gap was quite significant!
However, Xu Kai was not a manager with low emotional intelligence. He wouldn't say this to Song Jixing, nor would he nitpick at Song Jixing's mistakes.
Every child's path to growth is different, and the road to success doesn't have to be replicated in its entirety.
Feng Juechen was a rising star from a talent show, but he didn't have a representative work yet.
On the other hand, Xu Kai's artist was a well-established actress with impressive works! The future path was still wide open!
Thinking of this, Xu Kai felt content.
After Song Jixing's photo was posted on social media, it immediately attracted a crowd of fans' attention and comments.
There were compliments about Song Jixing's appearance, as well as praises for the bride and groom. Of course, Feng Juechen, who was standing on the side, didn't go unnoticed. In any case, anyone from the same school was good-looking.
In just thirty seconds, hundreds of comments appeared as if they lived on Weibo.
Song Jixing exchanged a few words with Xu Kai next to her, then turned her head to look at her phone. She noticed that the comment with the highest number of likes in the comment section was from someone named Zhan Ze.
Zhan Ze: Sister, let me tell you, does our master have any openings? Although I'm not as good-looking, I'm diligent and capable!
Looking at Zhan Ze's profile picture with the verified symbol, Song Jixing curiously clicked on it and took a glance, only to find out that this person was actually Feng Juechen's teammate from the talent show. His daily photos included many pictures of him and Feng Juechen together.
For example, there was a selfie of him resting in the dance studio, with Feng Juechen practicing beside him. There were also pictures of them striking poses and having meals together, with Feng Juechen sitting upright.
Song Jixing took a quick look and then exited the page, only to find that Feng Juechen had also posted an update, directly sharing her own post.
Song Jixing: ????
The CP fans were once again living their dream!
They went crazy in the comment section, typing abbreviations like "wkdl" and "txl," making it look like encrypted files!
Song Jixing sort of understood, but also sort of didn't.
#How High Is the Attractiveness Level of Artists from the Same School# quickly made it to the top three trending topics and was soon pushed down.
There was news of representatives from various regions arriving in Beijing for a meeting.
Song Jixing glanced at her phone, closed it, and continued to accompany everyone for the meal.

In the world of cultivation, it seemed that there was no tradition of going on a honeymoon. Yu Qing went back to work on the second day after getting married, leaving Su Muhan to take care of the household chores.
The real cultivators from dozens of other sects who had come from afar seemed to realize that they couldn't go back anymore. They gradually began to accept their fate and started watering and weeding at the school, engaging in vegetable farming.
Here, everyone relied on physical strength to make a living since they didn't have spiritual power. Although they were guests, they didn't feel comfortable freeloading off Qingyun Sect all the time.
Shen Feixian took the initiative to pull a few dignified elders to film two promotional videos without any hesitation!
In traditional martial arts, the old masters were still highly regarded! The night the videos were posted, the click-through rates skyrocketed.
Shen Feixian was very satisfied with the results and also took on some commercial endorsements.

Song Jixing also returned to the company to resume work.
Many variety shows and production crews expressed their interest in collaborating. Xu Kai even tried to get Song Jixing some projects from other cities, but she remained steadfast in choosing the job in City Y that she had held onto for a hundred years.
Song Jixing selected two production crews to interview with—one for a modern drama and the other for a period drama. The only commonality was that her role in both dramas was not extensive but belonged to the kind of antagonist character that would shine brilliantly when performed well.
The modern drama was a detective story, and the role Song Jixing interviewed for was the only daughter of the antagonist, a supporting character in the drama.
As the daughter of the villain, she followed in her father's footsteps, seeking revenge and resolutely embarking on a path of wits and battles against the police, but of course, there would be no happy ending for her in the end.
This character was, in the popular sense, a beautiful and wicked woman, and Song Jixing quite liked the role after reading the script.
On the other hand, in the period drama, she played a female assassin who showcased her skills in martial arts and dance. She was arranged as a courtesan in the enemy country, first captivating everyone with a dance, and then carrying out assassinations of influential officials according to the protagonist's orders.
Beautiful and wild, extremely loyal to the protagonist.
If we were to divide them based on difficulty, the modern drama would be somewhat simpler, while the period drama would be more challenging. Fortunately, the schedules for the two productions were different, with the modern drama starting filming in the spring of next year and the period drama at the end of the month.
Seizing the opportunity and making progress, it was still possible to catch both schedules!
With the scripts confirmed, Song Jixing began a non-stop series of interviews.
The results of the interviews were very successful, and she passed both productions!
However, there was still a small issue regarding the period drama. When the female assassin made her appearance, it was through a dance that stunned everyone. Although the director was confident in Song Jixing's martial arts scenes, they couldn't be certain about her dance performance.
It was quite common for actors to attend various training classes before filming.
The director of the period drama was surnamed Shang, a female director. She recommended a dance teacher to Song Jixing and asked her to learn from them.
Although it was referred to as a dance teacher, they also served as the choreographer for this production.
Sometimes, learning certain skills didn't necessarily rely on talent alone; diligence also played a part. Song Jixing spent three days putting in the effort and learned all the dances rehearsed by the dance teacher.
Even though the dance moves were identical, the teacher still noticed a few issues.
"Although you dance very well, I feel like something is missing. Some things are displayed through one's mental state. Miss Song, if you want to further perfect your character, personally, I suggest you watch a few dance performances, get a sense of it, and if you have the opportunity, try performing on stage. The experience will be more direct," said Bai Ping earnestly.
Song Jixing replied, "Teacher Bai, I will go watch this week. Thank you for your guidance these past few days."
Bai Ping's serious expression finally softened a bit.
